India is a vast and rapidly developing country. But in the remote, barren and arid villages in rural India, where we work, communities are still struggling to survive without access to safer water.

The only option for families is to spend their meagre household income on expensive water deliveries from unknown, and possibly contaminated, water sources. Or for women and girls to spend their days walking to fetch water from distant wells, and head-loading it home.

With your help, we can change this. For 30 years, we have worked with local communities to help them capture and preserve water, using traditional methods, inherited from times when people lived more harmoniously with the planet.
